Wakey Wakey!!!!! Four hockey games this weekend and running wedged in there when possible. I went to the kiddo’s 6 AM game dressed to run and had Mr. CNYrunner drop me 6 miles from home. Good run and better temps than yesterday at 34º with less wind. Longest run since December 6. Hey dg! Craneium…I did wave in your direction while I was in Rochester---didn’t run, but went to Wegmans and took a walk by Lock 32! If any of you subscribe to New England Runner (NE Runner) you also get a supplemental race calendar that runs from March 2009-February 2010. I had a big double take moment because there’s a photo from last year’s Jones Realty 10 mile race on the cover and there I am in a pack before the first hill. Ironic in that this race is on Sunday and I won’t be there this time. Ah well. I am number 177 and right on the front cover making a serious race face. Aack…..! Twocat---I am so sorry about all your leg troubles----we need to get healthy to revive our race series! No Iron Horse for me, but maybe we both shoot for New Haven in 9/09. Off to the next hockey game CNYrunner Uh Oh...three Saturday threads and simultaneous at that....

Wakey Wakey!!!!!

Wow! Mary, Way to get it in before the worst of it. I also did my run early but ony 4 easy ones today. Tomorrow is my long run and I heard after all this snow it is going to stay windy and blow it around for a few days. Good thing I am on a kind of cut back week and only have 8 miles on my schedule for tomorrow. Hope everyone has great runs and good luck to anyone racing today, Larry

Three daily threads? I was a little worried the place had broken down into warring factions. CNY—great that you’re taking in all that good hockey! Mary—all that snow sounds hard; you’re one tough cookie. CNY’s story about the magazine cover reminds me that our club made up poster-sized calendars this year with all the local races on them. At the top there’s a collage of running pictures and right smack dab in the middle of the club logo (a half-circle of lettering) is yours truly. So I’m literally the poster boy for our running club this year...which is a sad commentary on the state of our club. Easy 6.2 @ 8;22. Nice sunshine and in the 40s but still a good stiff breeze.

5 slow at the park, followed by my usual stretch routine at the Y. This gives me back-to-back 40-mile weeks, and I feel fine. A guy was driving around Dublin when he saw a sign in front of a house, 'Talking Dog for Sale.' He rang the bell and the owner told him the dog was in the backyard. The guy went into the backyard and saw a Labrador sitting there.. 'You talk?' he asked. 'Yes,' the Lab replied. 'So, what's the story?' The Lab looked up and said, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the Garda about my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running.' 'But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a load of puppies, and now I'm just retired.' The guy was amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog. 'Ten euros.' the man said. 'Ten euros? This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?' 'Because he's a liar,...... he never did any of that shit.' Spareribs

Nice to see you running so well CNY, and you, too SR! Mary, yikes! Whiteout running conditions, not ideal. Easy does it run for me this morning, then a core workout 5.1 miles, 46:30, 9:07/mi, AHR 134 (67% mhr)
